Thanks for letting me know, I added documentation to the 4800G modules. > Also I don't like the MIB layout on the 3Com which requires > OID_hwdot1qTpFdbSetPort to scan through the whole mac address table to lookup > for a port.

Argh.. you are right, the Fdb holds all the types of MACs (static, dynamic, etc.) so all of the L2 MACs are in there.. doh! There's a smaller "secure" table but you can only use it if the port is in "port-security autolearn" so the Fdb was used instead. Maybe we can switch to use autolearn with forced 02:00... addresses to fill the learning table. Another potential improvement: the Fdb is categorized by VLAN first so maybe when fetching 'secure MACs' if we query only the VLANs in switches.conf's vlans=... on the port first and then we fetch all MACs on that VLAN, this would reduce the table size. But vlans=... is set to disappear as it is mostly an annoyance. I added some TODOs in the right spot in the code. -- Olivier Bilodeau [email protected] :: +1.514.447.4918 *115 :: www.inverse.ca Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
